Supplier of tuning tools.  Has web order entry.

 Tuning Manual 

First Tracks On Line Ski Magazine.  Pretty straight forward explanation of the different types of tuning.

 ForSkiers 

Pretty good site written by a guy who skis a lot and seems to like to tune and repair skis

 Tuning Shaped Skis 

Reprint from "The Professional Skier" by PSIA.  Addresses some of the differences in tuning with straight versus shaped skis.

 Tognar Toolworks 

Supplier of tuning tools.  Has web order entry.

 BBSRA Tuning Guide 

A long pdf file that explains more details of the tuning process.

 FK Tools 

Tuning tool manufacturer of FK and SKS.  Check out the MT701 Multi-Tuner.  Its almost fool proof for tuning bottom and side edges and can be adjusted to different angles.  Reduces the risk of damaging your skis.  Consider adding MT703B medium cut diamond stone just for touching up edges. 

 Toko Alpine Technical Manual 

An excellent and illustrated explanation of the tuning process and selecting base and side edge angles.
